Unique in Italy and in the world, Venice impresses like a gorgeous human face uncovered behind a splendid carnival mask. For me, there are two equally captivating faces to this city. The first is the mask of the ornate palaces lining the Grand Canal, the golden Byzantine mosaics of St. Mark's church, the fascinating sparkles of the glass chandeliers from Murano island, the richly embroidered velvets of traditional Venetian costumes. For the lucky ones who steal a glimpse behind this facade, Venice opens a face of exquisite beauty and art, outstanding courage, unprecedented wealth, head-spinning decline, the desperation of gambling, the promiscuity of nunneries, revivals from the plague, fires and floods, and long-standing tradition of politics and bureaucracy to rival even the Ancient Rome. While touring its most iconic monuments, I will try to share with you also a glimpse into this hidden beauty of Venice to cherish in your heart until your next visit. For once seen Venice, you will want to return.
